There is a lot of talk globally about the development of ORE and the benefits it could potentially deliver.
Professor Lars Johanning
Chair in Ocean Technology and OcEn project lead
The University of Aberdeen is delighted to be an active partner in the OcEn consortium. The initiative allows our Interdisciplinary Research Institute to build on and deepen our existing successful collaboration via the GeoNetZero Centre for Doctoral Training, which we lead and the University of Plymouth is part of. The new research award enables our Energy Transition researchers to work with others to face the challenges and opportunities that offshore renewable technologies present as we strive the decarbonise the energy sector and meet net zero targets.

Australia has over 34,000km of coastline, and most of the country’s people live not too far away from an ocean. It therefore follows that there is tremendous upside for Australia in improving ORE technologies, and it is our absolute pleasure to be a part of this exciting global partnership.
Professor of Technology Management and Strategy, Queensland University of Technology
The University of Victoria (UVic) is proud to contribute to the OcEn’s timely and important work. Through the Accelerating Community Energy Transformation (ACET) initiative, we bring three decades of knowledge and innovation developed by the Institute for Integrated Energy Systems, which has kept UVic researchers at the forefront of community-led, offshore renewable energy research in Canada. Climate change is a global challenge that requires a global response – and offshore renewable energy has a critical role to play in that effort.
